A 'Help-Rejecting Complainer'

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a tough diagnosis for even seasoned mental health professionals to make yet most women dating today will tell you that at some point they've felt a magnetic attraction to one or several men they would at least describe as having narcissistic personality traits.

Thanks in part to technology and mainstream ideals, as well as social media, women are expected to do it all: look amazing, have wonderfully obedient children, be a boss, run a successful business, and have an abundant social life. While expecting all of this from us is unhealthy, in some ways these expectations have helped strong women thrive. Some of us have adapted by learning to use stress and daily pressure for motivation rather than letting them drag us down.

Our true friends are there for us in the happy times, like when we get that promotion we've been working so hard to achieve, and in the rainy times, like when we just ate a carton full of ice cream because our relationship ended, and lay in an unrecognizable ball on the couch, bawling our eyes out. Cue dramatic music. How do we know when to stop venting to our friends? After all, they can only take so much of our whining. It's only fair.
